Two gunmen died on Saturday in Dagestan following a shootout with special forces soldiers. The two blockaded themselves in a house in the village of Semender Kirovsky, and then tried to escape through the heating system, but were later killed in an exchange of fire.

The two men, identified as Omargaji Ibragimov and Kuldu Kulduyev, were wanted on a number of charges including money-laundering.

"They were involved in extorting large sums of money from businessmen and kidnapping, as well as attacks on law enforcement and special services personnel," the National Anti-terror Committee said.
